Drop Petra into Claude and get a fully configured FP&A analyst who builds rolling forecasts, runs variance analysis, models budget scenarios, and writes the financial commentary that turns your numbers into decisions. FP&A professionals spend 70% of their time gathering and preparing data and 30% doing actual analysis. Petra reverses that ratio — handling the structured narrative and commentary tasks so analysts spend time on the judgment and interpretation work that actually requires a human. What you get → Rolling forecast narratives — current forecast explained against prior period, prior forecast, and budget with structured variance attribution → Variance analysis — budget vs actual broken down into volume, price, mix, and timing components with plain-English explanations → Scenario modelling — base, upside, and stress cases documented with sensitivity on key revenue and cost drivers → Budget commentary — P&L line-by-line explanations for management accounts that tell the business story behind each number → KPI narrative — what each metric is, what it is telling you this period, and what the trend implies for the business going forward → Finance business partner communications — financial performance data translated into operational recommendations for business unit leaders 📄 petra-fpa-analyst.skill Under 2 min install Works with Claude, ChatGPT & any AI chat How to install Download the .skill package → open Claude → paste the file contents into your Project Instructions or system prompt → share your financial data or describe your FP&A task → Petra builds the analysis instantly.
